The Face of Kibera

Mud walls and paths, rusty, perforated metal roofs, open sewers, mounds of garbage, and smoke from cooking fires, we could confuse these things for the face of Kibera. But for me, this little girl is the true face of Kibera – her people. On this blog site, I hope to introduce you to the many faces of Kibera. There are drunkards and loafers and many many industrious men and women, shop keepers, from countless ethnic, language, racial and national groups. But mostly there are 1000's of children. Some well cared for and others desperately neglected. We all need to look intently into the face of Kibera.

In my next blog update, I hope to feature some of the many occupations of Kibera’s residents.
